We'll be bringing lots of our kits, all designed for total beginners, but fun and intriguing enough for everyone. We can teach anyone and everyone how to solder -- [http://mightyohm.com/blog/2011/04/soldering-is-easy-comic-book/ soldering actually is easy]! And we can teach more advanced topics, too. I can also give my "[http://www.cornfieldelectronics.com/downloads/tvbg_arduino/tvbg_arduino_workshop.htm Arduino For Total Newbies]" workshop. And Jimmie can give his "Circuit Bending" workshop. We can also give talks, if there's interest. Anything that can help out your hackerspace!

Hackers on a Train Workshop Tour 2012!

Can we do a workshop at your hackerspace this summer?
(North America only, this summer.)

Please email me for questions, or to get more info:maltman23*at*hotmail*dot*com

I bought a 45-day Amtrak USA Rail Pass.

I will be starting by going from San Francisco to New York City on 27-June. I have a few plans already, but if people/hackerspaces are interested, I'd love to do lots of workshops in cities with hackerspaces (or forming hackerspaces) in cities nearby Amtrak stations.

Jimmie Rodgers will be joining me, and so will other cool people -- for either all or part of this Hackers on a Train Workshop Tour 2012.

Our workshops are for all ages, and all skill levels.

Would you be interested in having us do workshops at your space?

Would you be interested in joining us for all or part of the HoaT Workshop Tour 2012?

Lemme know!

Workshops are great ways to get new people to your hackerspace, and to energize people already at the space. You can also use them to raise funds, if you like.

Me and Jimmie don't make money from our workshops. The money we charge ($10 to $35, depending on the kit) pays for kit parts and travel. We do this because we love teaching people how to make cool things! And we love helping hackerspaces.
